All About Greaseproof Paper: A Premium Packaging Solution from SKPMIL

greaseproof paper packaging

In today’s food industry, packaging is more than just a wrapper — it’s part of your brand promise, your hygiene standard, and your sustainability story. At SKPMIL, we understand that deeply. With more than 50 years of experience and a manufacturing division dedicated to 100 % recycled-fibre specialty papers, we bring you greaseproof paper that meets food-grade demands and aligns with the circular-economy goals of modern brands.

Here’s everything you need to know — from what greaseproof paper is, how we make it, to why your business should choose it now.

What is Greaseproof Paper & Why It Matters

Greaseproof paper is a specialty paper designed to resist oil and grease penetration. Unlike regular paper, where the fibre structure allows fats or liquids to seep through, greaseproof paper is refined and processed so that those micro-gaps are nearly closed — giving your food packaging the following benefits:
  • Prevents grease stains and oil bleed into external packaging.
  • Maintains the crispness and presentation of bakery items, sandwiches, fries, and other oily foods.
  • Offers a surface suitable for custom branding and printing (logos, taglines, safe-food icons).
  • Supports your sustainability agenda, especially when sourced from recycled materials.
For food-packaging businesses, these aren’t just nice-to-haves — they’re operational imperatives.

How SKPMIL Manufactures Premium Greaseproof Paper

At SKPMIL, our process is built around two core pillars: quality and sustainability.

1. 100 % Recycled Fibre Base

Our Paper Division, set up in 2004 at Kotputli, Rajasthan, uses 100 % recycled fibre to manufacture specialty papers including greaseproof grades. This means no new trees are cut for this product — helping you position your packaging as genuinely eco-friendly.

As a benchmark: recycling 1,000 kg of paper saves approx. 17 mature trees — a statistic that resonates with environmentally-conscious brands.

2. Advanced Refining & Super-Calendaring

  • We refine the recycled pulp intensively to strengthen the fibre bonding and reduce porosity.

  • Sheets are formed with precise GSM control (weight per square metre) and then super-calendered — heated rollers compress the paper to achieve a dense, smooth surface that resists grease and supports high-quality printing.

  • Our imported US/France machinery (used in the Kotputli unit) ensures consistency in thickness, smoothness, and physical properties.

3. Food-Grade Testing & Quality Assurance

Every batch of greaseproof paper undergoes:

  • Grease penetration tests (to ensure oil doesn’t seep through for hours)

  • Moisture absorption tests (to ensure crisp foods stay crisp)

  • Heat-resistance checks (for applications where reheating or baking may apply)

  • Printability assessments (logos, brand colours, food-safety marks)
    Because you, the food-packaging business, cannot afford risk or inconsistency.

Key Properties of Our Greaseproof Paper

Here’s how we articulate the value-proposition for you:

Feature

Why It Matters for Your Business

High Grease Resistance

Protects your outer packaging from greasy bleed and keeps your brand presentation clean.

Recycled-Fibre Content

Enables you to market a genuinely sustainable solution — “no virgin wood” message.

Heat & Moisture Stability

Whether your product is baked, fried, or reheated, the packaging maintains integrity.

Excellent Printability

Your brand colours, QR codes, certification seals — all can be printed clearly.

Wide GSM Options (28–70 GSM)

From light bakery wraps to heavy fried-food liners, we have you covered.

100% Biodegradable & Recyclable

Future-proof your packaging as regulations tighten.

Applications: Where This Makes a Real Difference

Bakery & Confectionery

  • Muffins, cookies, brownies — wrapping or lining trays prevents sticking and oil seepage.
  • Branded wraps increase perceived value and distinguish your product on shelves.

Branded wraps increase perceived value and distinguish your product on shelves. Our greaseproof paper for food packaging ensures superior oil resistance, printability, and hygiene, making it ideal for bakery, QSR, and snack applications.

Fast Food / QSR Chains

  • Burgers, sandwiches, fries — greaseproof paper prevents wrapper saturation, greying of bags, and dripping onto the consumer’s hand.
  • Using custom-printed greaseproof sheets helps your brand stand out and feel premium.

Snack & Fried Food Manufacturers

  • High-oil snacks (samosas, nuggets, cutlets) with extended shelf-life need grease-barrier protection in packaging.
  • Using a heavier GSM greaseproof liner improves durability in transit/storage.

Dairy & Butter Packaging

Fat-rich items like butter, cheese slices benefit from grease-free inner wraps to maintain hygiene and consumer appeal.

Industrial & Non-Food Use

While our core focus here is food-packaging, the same grades serve cosmetics, lamination and interleaving applications — which attests to the robustness of our grades.
